Under the new CEO (Robert Brown took over last August) the company has decided to move its head office to Montreal, undergone an extensive strategic review (ie sold some bits off), restructured its reporting procedures, and taken out a large ($400m plus EU100m) credit line.

Mr Brown also says: “I am confident that we are taking the right steps towards re-engaging our workforce”.
